BREAKING UP THE CAMP.
The Parting of the Gypsies-A Pictu
esquely Sad Scene.

The Parting of the Gypsies-A Pictur-
esquely Sad Scene.
Here were perhaps two score gypsies. Camp
was to be broken at the end of the next week.
The wanderers were to be scattered broad
cast. 1t was absolutely certain they would
all never meet again, even though all should
know the boundless gypsy joy of the spring
time outgoing. And there is a large and
ample human regard one for another, in, this
community of roadside interest and COM
partnership, which we of the 'eivilizedn
ways can never know. Tinker Zeke was not
alone in his mournful regret The camp was
rife with it, just as the landscape, sky and
air were instinct with the tender sadness Of
the dying year.
1t seemed to me, nor was it all of seeming,
that the fires themselves burned with less
crackle and flame Even the sizzling pots,
hanging from the grimy kettle sticks, boiled
and blubbered in minor hearthside tones
Over in the copses the tethered horses stood
meekly silent, with lowered heads, or nib
bled at their food as if in serious rumination
Good wives sat by the tent mouth in quiet
discussion with their husbands, or busted
themselves with the morning meal less spry
and clipper than is the gypsy woman's way.
Youths bringing water from the stream or
returning to camp with grain and fodder for
the animals did their work gloomily, end
with none of the summertime whoop and
halloa
Here and there were groups of older gypsy
men, seated on wagon tongues, or leaning
their backs against trees, who smoked their
pipes with long, strong retrospective puffS
and said little, while that little was measured
and reflective. Old spae wives puttered and
bothered ENORMOUSLY, unsteadier in tone
more restless in movement, and full of that
petulant resentment to change, so true and
pathetic a seal upon the overripe faculties Of
old age. Gypsy lasSes, ever demure in thu
presence of potent act or fact in their elders
but miracles Of winsome physical and heart
free abandonment in joyous hours, looked
twice their age in their long gowns and faces
And even the gypsy dogs, those rare sad Wis
aged, voiceleSs cheats, whose pretenss O
sodden Ignorance out gypsy the slyest Ro
many themselves, sat ranged in deferentia
distances from the camp tires, the embodi
ment of dreary dolefulness Edgar L. Wake

STORIES OF MEN,


DR.. Bryant's Joke Upon q Teller of Old
stories.
Dr. Bryant, who accompanied President
Cleveland on his recent tour through the
west and south, is a serious man, who never
jokes and never uses slang. One day the
doctor was walking through the woods on
the Belle-Meaie farm, near Nashville, with
Gen. Bill" jackson, who is known far and
wide rs a very successful racounteur. The
general was in particularly high spirits that
day, and stories ran out of him like sap out
of sugar maple.
At the end of one especially good story the
doctor, who did not seem to be much pricked
by the point of it, continued to look up at the
trees, which he had been some time examin-
ing, and said:
General, you raise good many chestnuts
here, don't you9"
All the rest of the day the doctor won
dered why Gen. jackson told no more stories.
